After a dominant showing at UFC 232 against his most challenging foe, Jon Jones looks to make a quick turnaround to fight in Las Vegas on March 2; this has come with no shortage of controversy, which is no surprise.…

Few fighters have made as much of an immediate impact as Petr Yan; the Absolute Championship Berkut import made his debut with the UFC in June 2018, and fought thrice before the year was up. For all the expectations that…

The light heavyweight division is an absolute wasteland; granted, less than it used to be with fighters like Dominick Reyes and Magomed Ankalaev on the upswing, but 205-pounds is still pathetically shallow with a gigantic gulf between Jon Jones and…

At the time of writing, it appears that Cain Velasquez is going to return to action. We can’t be sure, of course; Velasquez last appeared in the cage at UFC 200 about two-and-a-half years ago, and has been plagued with…

The usually inconsistent Charles Oliveira went 3-0 in 2018 with three submissions for his best win streak since 2015, becoming the man with the most submissions in UFC history in Sao Paulo and extending his lead in Milwaukee. To start…

Off three straight losses to the top three welterweights in the world, Demian Maia hasn’t looked good since UFC 211 in 2017. Now 41-years-old and without a clear route to a title fight, it isn’t a huge leap to think that…
